Your welcome I would love to help you community any way I can as I’ve been watching your videos for while now

Love you and your content man ❤❤❤❤❤

[@kahdin]

What's the music you use for these videos? I can't find it.

[@ChrisSuperDude]

I'm hoping alternate themes becomes a thing in the future. Realistically WWE still owns the rights to most of their songs so keeping alternate themes the same way they have alternate entrances should not be an issue.

[@saintjimzo]

True, even if someone leaves the company just put the song name instead of the superstars. You own the rights, don't punish the fans.

[@dr.atheist3087]

Yeeeessss

[@ChrisSuperDude]

@@saintjimzo They could even do what they do now with entrances where they give a vague description of the wrestler. For example, Dean Ambrose is "Shield's Lunatic" Naomi's is "Amazing Glow", Goldust is "Golden One" etc.

[@BiggestREXfanForever]

They should do what AEW does with their jukebox

[@dr.atheist3087]

@@BiggestREXfanForever I agree with this completely and I hope that they implement it into 2k24 for now though I'd be happy with getting "The Way"'s themes and "No one will Survive"

[@ByronHendersonOfficial]

Blair Davenport has a unique V-Trigger animation when the opponent is placed on the middle rope. It's a running strike. Everyone else does a dropkick. They need to add that as a selectable move. 😒

[@rileymurray986]

I'm confused at where this move is?

[@ByronHendersonOfficial]

@@rileymurray986 It's exclusive to Blair. You won't actually find it located in the moveset. Place your opponent on the middle rope as if you're about to do a 619, and then do a running strike. Blair does a bicycle knee strike instead of the dropkick that everyone else does.

[@rileymurray986]

@@ByronHendersonOfficial Oh wow I get it now and that's awesome I'll have to try

[@Jaksonsdt1]

@@ByronHendersonOfficiali actually wanna see it. Is there any video footage of it?

[@ByronHendersonOfficial]

@@Jaksonsdt1 Give me a second. I'm playing right now, so I don't mind recording it real quick.

[@edwardcross459]

They also gave Uncle Howdy like all of Bo’s moves, except the Bodog, because it’s no longer in the game. He has the Rolling the Dice, Butterfly DDT, a version of the BoDazzler, and the Whiplash Neckbreaker. Definitely 2K saying “Yup, it’s Bo.”

[@philmp6]

There is a bodog variation you can add in the rear leaning in corner position, and you can add the bodazzler as I believe it's called dazzler in game

[@anthonywrasslin]

Don't forget the running Spear

[@natureswhisper1397]

That's what I was about to write as I've also noticed the similar moveset.

[@edwardcross459]

@@anthonywrasslin Yeah, he’s got the spear as well.

[@edwardcross459]

@@philmp6 I already did both of those, but his Irish whip rebound grapple is definitely supposed to be the BoDazzler.

[@kadharefinley224]

I didn’t know Blair Davenport had an alternative theme that’s pretty cool. The Miz as the unmasked Uncle Howdy is hilarious 😂 😂😂

[@Smacktalks]

It was really unexpected, she only started using it a few weeks ago

[@productand1]

So why can't they give us Jd McDonoughs new theme?

[@christophereskridge1]

​@@productand1his original theme is a banger

[@PonyPlays2014]

Finally the mystery was solved: Uncle Howdy was actually Grandpa Miz from the Future

[@toypikachutheoctoling6029]

Did you Know: Even without owning Revel With Wyatt DLC Pack, with The old Fiend status uploaded, he will have Bray's New Crowd Signs,meaning his old signs were written over

[@teamweavertv]

There’s actually a cool crowd chant that happens with Bray, idk if it’s just the first time you play as him or what, but right when the match starts the crowd chants “welcome back”

[@seanmcmahon5680]

If you did it in an NXT arena, they're set to have the crowd chant 'Welcome Back' to any former NXT stars....

[@LavaDemon66]

Im glad that they added Sami Zayn’s new theme but i wish that they had also changed Zayns titantron movie from when he just left the bloodline to what it is now.

[@HCIbn]

C’mon you Sami fanboys never quit do you. 1st it was the Sami t-shirt 2nd Sami theme song change and now this too.

[@LavaDemon66]

@@HCIbn first of all, I’m not a Sami Zayn fanboy. Second of all I just think that his entrance video is outdated. If they have been updating other things in the game, I don’t see why they can’t update his entrance video.

[@LavaDemon66]

@@HCIbn also I never was one of the people that complained in the first place

[@OvernightCrew]

@@HCIbn you don't have to be a Sami fanboy to want something to be accurate

[@dr.atheist3087]

I also noticed that Howdy's overall is the same as Bo's wwe games debut overall

[@devinsantiago5357]

for wwe 2k24 we need the three faces of bray wyatt like cult leader bray wyatt firefly bray wyatt and the Fiend

[@overthetop99]

if not fired

[@TheUlitimateEdge]

Hey, they re-added Luke Harper's Gator Roll in the 1.14 patch. It was last seen in 2K20.

[@flame9118]

Dawkins new finisher The Silencer is actually a move he learned while the Street Profits were doing shows for EVOLVE, he learned it from a guy called JD Drake who called it The Drill Bit.

[@dez1512]

I don't see the move?

[@Megastar_Tye]

Did you know, if you use the silencer as a sig or fin, if you do a pin combo, it will glitch and let you keep the sig or fin depending which one you used

[@levell9692]

A lot of moves do that

[@senoka4638]

If they are going to start doing alternate themes I'd better see Shayna get her old theme. That theme was absolute fire.

[@natureswhisper1397]

I agree 100%! And they definitely should put the theme that Ciampa has now: it being better is an understatement.

[@ryan4372]

If you tap the up button as they hit 3, they kick out which is cool for big stars who hardly get pinned, still lose but have that realism of kicking out.

[@marcj.tillery8290]

Huge oversight not adding voice taunts for LA Knight

[@MumbaiCbra]

Something I’ve caught which I’m confident is different is the O’Conner roll 1 pin as it was changed in a recent patch but there is a new animation that goes into the pin compared to the original roll up animation

[@trikz_xd8411]

Btw they made tired finishers more cool that now when you do it you stay down for a little longer not instant recover

[@SinfulSaint013]

There's rivals commentary for 80's Hulk and Zeus. And a "No Holds Barred" movie reference during Zeus' entrance.

[@LegocrazyYT1104]

Did you know bray wyatt has the same unique reversal he had as the fiend in 2k20 where he reversed clotheslines

[@AGT-WrestlingGames]

Gator Roll move is also back (since 2K20) This is move of Luke Harper.

[@Juicewrldfan99962]

Loving these did u know series never miss one

[@Poetic_Justice92]

We all kinds figured Uncle Howdy was Bo after we heard his laugh. Its cool to essentially get a confirmation on that now.

[@eviltom17]

Did you know that if you give Bray one of his older entrances he has unique commentary for that era of Bray? Firefly Funhouse Bray, Wyatt Family. Whatsthestatus versions of Bray Wyatt '14 and '21 have these unique commentaries as well.

[@chrischris3507]

Love these videos man keep up the awesome work

[@bobbyserrano3872]

You forgot about the rival commentary between Hulk Hogan and Zeus

[@ryan4372]

Also with bo dallas uncle howdy has a similiar moveset to bray but the difference is having the whiplash neckbreaker (bo dallas finish for a bit).

[@firstnamelastnamesb]

He also has the Butterfly DDT and Roll of the Dice as strong grapple moves, both of which are also previous finishers for Bo Dallas.

[@tanaka7341]

The best dlc when it comes to easter eggs lmao

[@rileyanthony]

But I do wish the added exclusive rivalry cutscenes for bray Wyatt and uncle howdy and also something i hope 2k adds the Wyatt trios entrance and victory

[@This_Is_Quinn]

They actually do, it’s called the Sons of the Bayou 2 or something like that. But the Wyatt Family name is no longer in the create a team name choice

[@RobbedoesTV]

​@@This_Is_QuinnI don't know if they patched it out but I couldn't find it earlier today and I swore I saw it before when I was playing

[@NeganMOX]

Bray has a unique reversal for running clotheslines, though I've only seen it with Roman Reigns.

[@oishere7262]

Did you know that if you download whatsthestatus The Fiend V2, it will appear in the Downloadable content category as well as custom superstar?

[@elvolaflame]

they added "the king of wrestling" to harley race's call name

[@marcushamilton6668]

Rivals commentary between Zeus vs Hulk Hogan

[@gableprescott7405]

Did you know they actually re-added a move that was taken out in 2k22? It’s the Gator Roll, from the grounded head position.

[@darkheartedleo3953]

Did you know that Bray Wyatt gets a welcome back Chant when you let him fight on NXT

[@chessrocker09]

Kurt angle has a manager attire and mr. Mcmahon's stunner finisher is now called world's worst stunner.

[@slayerBO2EPC]

That Uncle Howdy easter egg is pretty cool

[@35antonio]

The Silencer is actually Dawkins Signature. He uses it as a set up move for the finish

[@marcosmolinari1497]

Now 2k need to add Ciampas old theme, which is the one he uses now

[@darkheartedleo3953]

Did you know that Bray Wyatt and The Undertaker has special rivalry commentary

[@haydenmarshall2010]

Ive been waitin for this!

[@jtk9259]

Did you know Bray Wyatt if he uses the mandible claw finisher the commentary will mention The Fiend

[@The_NYC_Dracula]

I also noticed that

[@ItsEnxevity]

Did you know bray Wyatt has a unique reversal to certain running attacks such as a clothesline?

[@M.U.V.E_SPORTS]

Angelo Dawkins new finisher ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

[@AnneBUZZTKO]

1:28 Does The Crowd sing his song if you update it or no and we have to wait for 2K24 For That?

[@Smacktalks]

I tested it out with his old Sami Zayn 3 motion but there was no crowd audio

[@PK-eg8yz]

They sing along if you change his motion to sami zayn 3 along with the theme song

[@mistermac3952]

Where is the end of days theme for Corbin? That theme goes in!

[@Samurai_Stoner]

Agreed

[@BehemothNitro]

Did you know: Special rivals commented between Zeus and Hulk Hogan

[@thecooldudeofficalchannel8167]

Incredible video

[@luke-kl2dy]

I know this is random but Did you know that Sheamus and Tyler Bate both have PG-13 references in their entrances, with Corey Graves referencing the Bang Bros problem with it’s trademark and history in Sheamus’s entrance and Michael Cole says Master Bate in Tyler Bate’s entrance.

[@RockNRollHorrorshow]

Uncle Howdy also has a few moves of Bo's in his own moveset, albeit not the Bo versions of them (He has a Belly to Belly, Spear and a Double Arm DDT, all of which have been Bo Dallas signatures in the past). No idea if he has the Bo Dog though

[@firstnamelastnamesb]

He also has Roll of the Dice and Whiplash Neckbreaker, two more of Bo's finishers.

[@Nomad416]

Yeah, it's clear 2K thinks (or knows) Bo is Howdy.

[@ryanfolsom8851]

Miz being the model used for unmasked Uncle Howdy is hilarious when you consider Bo's history with him.

[@quintariosmith990]

I’m downloading De-Bo 😂💯

[@PMXPMKnights]

There's a special rival commentary between Hulk Hogan and Zeus. Anyone watched No Holds Barred movie?

[@7193dillo]

I've been watching for years and it still surprising me that the people i talk to irl that enjoy wresting gameshave no idea who you are or what community creations is

[@Titanmatthew_]

Idea: Add old theme songs for in game superstars. Example: Candice LeRae’s never back down and Roman Reigns The Truth Reigns

[@austinstark-spiller1606]

If you look at the moveset for uncle howdy, it has moves the bo dallas used to use as well.

[@Realzacman]

Uncle Howdy also has 2 apperances in the Royal Rumble match as well with eliminations and time he was in, same as bo dallas had.

[@TheJRockGaming]

I swear I saw Whatsthestatus post a unmasked uncle howdy and it was Bo Dallas under it

[@blacktytrix]

If nobody has already, someone needs to see if Joe Gary and Rick steiner have any commentary just because of the way that storyline went irl.

[@Kyleaholic]

Lmfaooo the troll they put using Miz’s face

[@GhostPhantom197]

Is anyone else having a similar problem with the Viking Raiders and Valhalla not showing Valhalla on the match card just a blank space before the match begins?

[@ProudZillaFan]

Yeah, I've got the same problem.

[@elijahpage9020]

Did you know that when editing Legado Del Fantasma's entrance if you set the Trios Entrance motion to Generic Trio 2 or 3 It Changes the titantron Legado Del Fantasma Titantron?

[@sabotagebluemania8149]

Did you know that if you assign bray Wyatt his old wonderful taunt audio will play for him

[@indrashishchakraborty5085]

Bo Dallas is Bray Waytt's real brother ...both sons of Mike Rotunda IRS

[@Kingofb0ngstyle]

The Silencer? I thought that was Dexter moves name? Angelo's finisher is basically a less crazy version of Storm breaker, by Ospreay.

[@cielinteri5673]

Hopefully thommaso chiampa theme comes too

[@tommysingh5196]

Did you that 2k still didn't included the classic Elimination chamber

[@mnc4980]

Did you know using the fiend entrance, firefly cultist entrance and funhouse friend gives bray commentary for those gimmicks and fun house friend has special wrestlemania commentary for bray

[@adamkirk1274]

Did you know hbk has cummty 99 dx cummty

[@tobyellis5039]

The Silencer is also the "Colt .45" for Colton Gun, is it not?

[@FattPaulie]

Did you guys know that in the Season Mode. Not only is Uncle Howdy automatically Brays Manager but Alexa Bliss is too? And when you go to the superstar menu. She's not even listed as his manager or even on his Allies list?

[@chrisdanger5426]

Did you know that patch 1.13 added Bayley 16 entrance and theme song to create a entrance as well as becky lynch 18 or 17

[@evanjenkins9076]

Did you know there's alternate theme for hbk 97 they added dx theme if you select that one only for hbk

[@christophereskridge1]

Was there a did you know about Zeus and Hulk Hogan or Macho man or Ted dibise

[@Kr4zYliCi0u5]

Did you know Bray Wyatt has a unique reversal to clotheslines?

[@BerylliumGold]

I wish they changed Sami's entrance motion. He's hype, but not in an intentionally obnoxious way like in the game's heel entrance.

[@orster2076]

Maybe we can get the Kross elbow soon..

[@sulhash]

Damien Miz-dow? 2K: Uncle How-Miz

[@WhoIsBlaqMagic]

Did you know WHATSTHESTATUS has a Bo Dallas variant of Uncle Howdy

[@thefreshedits9841]

Even without the revel with wyatt dlc you can select the Blair davenport theme

[@radiokid3004]

theres also hidden rivals commentary for zeus vs hulk hogan, referencing rip thomas and zeus' feud in no holds barred

[@adenwalther5799]

The nxt title uncle howdy is not the only one it says he has held if you do the same thing for the raw tag and 24/7 it says he held them which bo Dallas held

[@gabremichaels6853]

Did you know bray has a unique reversal animation for running strikes

[@KegOfMeat]

Patch 1.13 has broken custom matches because the game will revert any options you change back to the default settings.

[@r3zrazcal579]

Whatsthestatus has uploaded a version of uncle howdy with bo Dallas face model as a alternate attire

[@Brian2kMiracle18]

You should do an update on pin advanced sliders since the new patch update changed them.

[@tv-mk-tk]

I also realized Bo and Uncle Howdy have the same weight, 234 lbs

[@Taubull422]

Not sure if anyone noticed this. Bobby Lashley and Roman Reigns have special commentary when they face each other.

[@mkg5048]

It was me Austin, it was me all along 😆. Bo...lieve

[@sulhash]

Damien Miz-dow? How about Uncle How-Miz?!

[@YaBoi3bKd]

Should of said uncle miz how😂

[@Wicallz420]

You I was playing right now and tried a closeline on bray and he had a reversal I have never seen check it out

[@ivernnpang2336]

Why trio entrance when u cant hv 6 man mixed tag

[@CozyHumanoid]

Uncle Howdy is Von Wagner confirmed.

[@LeadFurlong]

Wow i used to watch this guy back when 2k14 was the new game. Glad to see he is still around

[@BMG_AV]

Uncle Howdy's attire is literally just Bo Dallas's Miztourage attire😭

[@5higuy]

Did you know that “Sister Abigail 3” (the corner version of sister abigail) has returned in the new update?

[@mutant9156]

Without the mask, Uncle Howdy kind of looks like Michael Hayes

[@twiztidsteve6]

I've never seen Dawkins win a match with that move

[@cjr4444]

I can believe the miz was uncle howdy.
